Seven-year-old Titus Adams was riding comfortably in the car with his mother and younger sisters, Tiffany, 4, and Tierra,1, when the car suddenly veered off the road and rolled five times. Neither Titus, nor his sisters were injured being safely strapped in their seats. Their mother, however, was thrown from the car and lay unconscious. She was later found to be in critical condition having a broken neck, broken back and ten broken ribs.

Young Titus squeezed through the window of a jammed door, encouraged the older sibling to watch the youngest, and assured them both that he would soon return with help. Armed with only his wits and a determination to find help, he walked a half a mile in pajamas and sock feet through a muddy field in 23-degree weather, crawled under an electric fence and busted down a locked gate to get to nearby dairy workers. The workers quickly then called 911 and help was soon on the way. The boy's father announced that the paramedics and police are calling Titus "a hero" since "he saved his mom's life."

As wonderful a story as this is, I couldn't help but think of the One who traveled a great distance to save the likes of you and me. He left the security and comfort of His Father's home and glory to come to earth, not to find someone to help, but to give it himself. The Bible says, "who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant…he humbled himself and became obedient to death-even death on a cross,"- Philippians 2:6-8.

John says of him, "the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." In Jesus, God came down, taught, lived, suffered and died. It wasn't a frozen ground he endured for a half mile, but a cross to which he was nailed.

Young Titus Adams went through much in order to save the life of his loved ones. It was a commendable and honorable thing to do. But Jesus was beaten, scourged, and spat upon and endured the pain of a Roman cross for those who were his enemies, those that didn't love him; those that didn't even care-you…and me! "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us…For it, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by through his life!"-Romans 5:8,10.

Jesus. He was and still remains the Hero of heroes.
